Some of the moths are beautiful, Tricia - wish I had a camera lens to do them justice instead of heavily cropping photos. There is one advantage of identifying moths over butterflies in that I can chill them in the fridge for a few hours and (most but not all) become docile for a while (this doesn't hurt them by the way) and I can examine them closely with a magnifying glasss and hand lens. I love butterflies but identification of some of them can be difficult as they rarely stay still!! However, some of the lbj's are really really similar and I am sure I misidentify a lot! Some species you can only separate by dissection and I am afraid I am not into that.Ragged Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090463834740346114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8320975515799225099.post-13469709333997851022010-07-30T17:12:55.934+01:002010-07-30T17:12:55.934+01:00I must admit that I thought of deer to RR :D I h...I must admit that I thought of deer to RR :D I have enough difficulty identifying the variety of blue flutters let alone all your LBJ's of the moth world.
